Abe Vigoda = George Halas

The news earlier this week that ESPN and the NFL are planning a Vince Lombardi biopic for 2012 starring Robert De Niro inspired the Twitterverse to offer many creative casting suggestions for other roles.

Mine: Abe Vigoda as George Halas, Randy Couture as Ray Nitschke and Kevin James as Fuzzy Thurston.

(Why not Abe? If Betty White could turn that Snickers ad during the Super Bowl into a gig hosting SNL, Abe can be in the Lombardi movie.)
